    Cipanas Palace

    Istana Cipanas

    One of the six presidential palaces of Indonesia, in a garden of about 26 hectares. The building was constructed by a Dutch landlord in 1740. Already during that time, Puncak was a recreation area for the Dutch elite, and governor-general Van Imhoff stayed several times in the palace (1743-1750). Also at the end of the colonial time in the 1930s and 1940s several governor-generals of the Dutch East Indies used the palace as a family residence. Since Indonesian independence, the building is officially one of the presidential palaces. The first president Soekarno used it for one of his weddings, and sometimes the palace is used to receive foreign dignitaries.
